- BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P (Cosmetic Grade) is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonate which is produced by the continuous sulfonation of alpha olefins via Stepan’s falling film process. Stepan’s process produces a consistently high quality product.
- BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P can be used in personal care formulations where efficient viscosity building performance is desired. BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P is ideal for a variety of personal care formulations, such as hand soaps, shampoos, facial cleansers, and body washes. BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P has excellent flash foam properties, and has improved mildness over lauryl sulfates. Also, BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P is hydrolytically stable over a broader pH range than lauryl and lauryl ether sulfates.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Standard Packaging
BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P is available in bulk and 55 gallon drums (450 lb/ 204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e. the use of gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.
- It is recommended that BIO-TERGE AS-40 CG-P be stored in sealed containers at temperatures above 55°F (13°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. This material can gel and separate if exposed to cooler temperatures. Heat it slowly with mild agitation to insure its homogeneity before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with Atlac 382 Handling corrosion liner are recommended. Positive displacement gear pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 90-100°F (32-38°C).
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
